By Christian Lamitschka for Country Music News International Magazine
Multi-platinum country sensation Russell Dickerson has officially launched his highly anticipated RUSSELLMANIA TOUR 2025, delivering a whirlwind of energy and fan-favorite hits to packed audiences. The “born showman,” as hailed by Music Row, ignited the tour with two explosive performances in his hometown of Nashville, TN (March 14th) and Atlanta, GA (March 15th), setting the stage for a spring and summer filled with unforgettable nights.
Dickerson’s performances were a masterclass in crowd engagement, weaving together his impressive catalog of chart-topping hits with the raw enthusiasm that has become his trademark. Fans were treated to sing-alongs of anthems like “God Gave Me A Girl,” “Home Sweet,” and the heartfelt “Yours,” each delivered with the signature passion that has propelled Dickerson to the forefront of country music. The powerful resonance of his rising single, “Happen To Me,” further solidified his connection with the audience, showcasing the song’s infectious energy and relatable lyrics.
The Nashville shows were elevated by surprise guest appearances that amplified the already electric atmosphere. Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce joined Dickerson for a hauntingly beautiful duet of Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley’s “Whiskey Lullaby,” showcasing a different side of Dickerson’s vocal range and creating a deeply moving moment. Rising country star Dylan Marlowe injected a dose of high-energy camaraderie, performing his hit “Back Home Boys” and further fueling the crowd’s excitement. Opener Jake Scott also returned to the stage to perform their 2X Platinum hit “She Likes It,” a testament to their successful collaboration, before Dickerson closed the show with the beloved “Blue Tacoma” amidst a flurry of celebratory confetti.
The buzz surrounding Dickerson’s new single, “Happen To Me,” has been palpable. Praised as his “best song to date” by Country Swag, the track achieved the biggest streaming debut week of Dickerson’s career and in Triple Tigers label history, amassing over 13.9 million global streams and 32.3 million social media views. Music Row aptly described it as “a good-time banger with energy that doesn’t let up. Perfect for a springtime playlist.” The song, co-written by Dickerson, Chase McGill, Jessie Jo Dillon, Chris LaCorte, and Robert Hazard, captures the essence of a carefree night out, blending catchy rhythms with irresistible lyrics.
Dickerson’s success is rooted in his ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level. His string of four consecutive No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay singles – “Yours” (3X Platinum), “Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), “Every Little Thing” (Platinum), and “Love You Like I Used To” (Platinum) – solidified his status as a country music powerhouse. The addition of “God Gave Me A Girl” to his list of No. 1 hits in 2023, and now the massive debut of “Happen To Me,” further demonstrates his consistent ability to deliver chart-topping anthems.
The RUSSELLMANIA TOUR 2025 promises to be a series of high-energy, unforgettable performances, showcasing Dickerson’s dynamic stage presence and his ability to command a crowd.
